Dean Barnes | Reach to Teach

Post Description: Teaching ESL abroad can bring you many different experiences, especially in the classroom. In general teaching is split into teaching with Adults (18+), kindergarten (0-6) or in between, generally around 6-17 years old. There are crossovers with the groups, some positions will have you teaching a mix, and what some countries consider kindergarten age will differ.Author Bio: My name is Dean, I have been traveling for around four years now with a small stint back in my home country. I’m from the UK and I began my teaching career on the island of Bali. I then made the move to Taiwan where I currently reside. Here I have the joy to fulfill my passion for writing by providing ESL/travel-related articles for the Reach To Teach website.

My teaching in Malta was focused on adults in the main. Teaching the teenage groups was often a task bestowed upon the newer/younger teachers. I think that there is definitely more of a psychic energy drain when you're working with a class full of antsy teens.
